About
Jason Falkner was one of the preeminent power-pop writers and producers to surface in Los Angeles in the late '90s, turning out a pair of sparkling solo records and co-writing elaborate power pop with Brendan Benson, Eric Matthews and Air. His professional career began in the city's notable Paisley Underground movement, as a member of the Three O'Clock, and he was a founding member (though not a songwriter) of trippy '90s poppers Jellyfish. Though he made the rounds in L.A.'s pop scene and co-wrote seven songs on Brendan Benson's One Mississippi, his proper debut came in 1996 with Jason Falkner Presents Author Unknown. In 1999 he followed it with the Nigel Godrich-produced Can You Still Feel?, widely considered his best. A collection of four-track recordings followed some years later on spinART.
